Professional Liability Insurance

Carter Newell is a leading dynamic Queensland-based firm providing specialist legal advice to Australian and international corporate clients.

 

Led by partners Michael Gapes and Mark Brookes, the Professional Liability team handles claims made against professionals across all industries.  We act for underwriters, brokers, insureds for representatives bodies and professionals (such as accountants and auditors), company directors and officers, trustees, business and insurance brokers, financial advisers, engineers, architects, financial institutions, barristers, solicitors, hospitals and medical and para-medical professionals.

 

As a highly complex and sensitive area of law, professional liability demands effective case resolution strategies.  Our team works to support all the relevant stakeholders, being the broker, the insurer and the insured.  This involvement enables us to assist in risk management and claim assessment strategies.

  • Professional indemnity
  • Directors’ and Officers’ liability
  • Trustees’ and Office Bearers’ liability
  • Errors and omissions
  • Fraud and dishonesty
  • Civil liability
  • Medical malpractice
  • Financial lines
  • Construction professionals

We are renowned among the legal and insurance industries as being a ‘premier’ legal service provider for professional liability insurance risks.
